CyberAttack.ai — AI cybersecurity and risk management automation.
CyberAttack.ai pairs a continuous risk management platform with a practitioner services firm: monitoring, AI-prioritized vulnerabilities, and compliance evidence on one side; vCISO advisory, penetration testing, managed detection, and incident response on the other — backed by a senior U.S.-based security operations team.
A HOLD.co company
One security brand, built from two.
CyberAttack.ai is HOLD.co's cybersecurity company, sitting alongside DEV.co, LLM.co, Automatic.co, VDR.ai, and Search.co in our technology segment.
It is the consolidation of two portfolio brands. SEC.co ran the consulting and cyberdefense practice — assessments, testing, managed security, and incident response. CyberSoftware.ai built the platform. Clients kept buying them together, so the two became one company under a single name: CyberAttack.ai. SEC.co and CyberSoftware.ai now redirect there, and existing engagements carried over unchanged.
The combination is the point. A platform without operators becomes another unwatched console, and a consultancy without instrumentation can only tell you what was true on the week of the assessment. CyberAttack.ai runs both, so the same team that finds a problem is accountable for closing it.
The problem
Mid-market security fails in the gap between owning tools and operating them.
The organizations most exposed to modern attacks are rarely the ones with no security spend. They are the ones with real spend, no dedicated team, and no way to tell which of a thousand findings matters.
Tools without operators
Most organizations already own more security products than they can staff. Licenses get bought, consoles go unwatched, and alerts pile up in a queue nobody is accountable for reading at 2 a.m.
Findings without priority
A scanner returns thousands of vulnerabilities graded on a scale that ignores your environment. Nothing in the report says which twenty actually put the business at risk this quarter.
Compliance as a fire drill
SOC 2, CMMC, HIPAA, and PCI evidence gets assembled by hand in the weeks before an audit, then goes stale immediately — so the certificate says one thing and the environment says another.
No one to call at hour zero
Ransomware, business email compromise, and active intrusion are decided in the first few hours. Sourcing an incident response team while the incident is running is the worst time to start.
The platform
Continuous monitoring, AI triage, and automated remediation on one spine.
Security, vendor, and operational risk run through a single system, so a finding, its business context, its owner, and its evidence all live on the same record — and the AI analyst reasons across all of it rather than one console at a time.
01
Detect & monitor
AI security analyst
An always-on analyst that triages alerts, explains what happened in plain language, and ranks what to handle first.
Attack surface monitoring
Continuous discovery of internet-exposed assets, forgotten subdomains, and shadow IT nobody put on the inventory.
Endpoint monitoring
Behavioral detection across servers and workstations, with telemetry retained for investigation rather than discarded.
02
Assess & defend
Vulnerability management
Risk-ranked findings scored against your actual exposure, with fix-first guidance instead of an undifferentiated CVE dump.
Cloud security
Posture management across AWS, Azure, and GCP — misconfiguration, identity sprawl, and public exposure caught continuously.
Incident response
Guided containment running on human-approved playbooks, so automation moves fast without taking irreversible action on its own.
03
Govern & scale
Compliance automation
Control mapping and evidence collection that stays current between audits for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and the frameworks in your contracts.
MSP console
Multi-tenant monitoring for managed service providers running security across a book of client environments.
Risk register
Security, vendor, and operational risk tracked in one place, with owners and remediation status attached to every item.
The services firm
Four practices, staffed by practitioners.
Software narrows the problem; people close it. CyberAttack.ai runs four service lines that engage before, during, and after an incident — sold on retainer or as scoped projects, and available with or without the platform.
01
Advisory & governance
Senior security leadership without a full-time hire: vCISO retainers, cyber risk assessments, cybersecurity program development, vendor risk management, and cyber insurance readiness ahead of renewal.
02
Security testing
Manual, exploit-driven penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, web application and API testing, and full red team assessments that test people and process alongside technology.
03
Managed security
Managed detection and response, SOC-as-a-service, managed SIEM, managed EDR/XDR, and proactive threat hunting — staffed by analysts who act on a detection rather than forwarding it.
04
Incident response
Response retainers with guaranteed mobilization times, emergency breach response, ransomware containment and recovery, digital forensics that hold up for legal and insurance, and tabletop exercises before the real thing.
Compliance
The frameworks your contracts and regulators actually name.
Readiness work, control mapping, and continuously collected evidence — so the audit is a review of what the platform already recorded rather than a quarter spent reconstructing it.
Defense & government
- CMMC
- NIST 800-171
- FedRAMP readiness
- DFARS
Business & SaaS
- SOC 2 readiness
- ISO 27001 readiness
- Vendor security reviews
- Security questionnaires
Regulated industries
- HIPAA security risk assessment
- PCI DSS
- GDPR readiness
- SEC cyber disclosure readiness
Who it serves
Regulated, technical, and industrial organizations.
The common thread is consequence: businesses where an outage stops production, a breach triggers a reporting obligation, or a failed security review costs the contract.
Investors & operators
Cyber diligence is underwriting, not IT.
HOLD.co acquires and operates companies, so CyberAttack.ai was built against a buyer's questions as much as an operator's. Sponsors, independent sponsors, and corporate development teams use it on both sides of a transaction.
Our thesis
Security budgets keep growing while breaches keep landing, because the spend buys detection and not resolution. The companies that automate the path from finding to fix — and keep humans accountable for the last mile — are the ones that will still be standing after the incident.
